THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI AND INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION. 

The Trans-Mississippi Exposition, aside from being an exhibit of the almost fabulous resources of the 
vast region west of the Mississippi river, will be a world's display of industrial art in all its varied forms. The 
buildings are elaborated on a scale second only to that of the World's Fair, and in point of architecture and 
artistic decorations, quite as grand and imposing. 

The origin and purposes of the Exposition are set forth in the following resolution passed by the Trans- 
Mississippi Commercial Congress, held at Omaha in 1895 : 

" Whereas We believe that an Exposition of all the products, industries, and civilization, of the states west of the Mississippi 
river, held at some central gateway where the world could behold the wonderful capabilities of these great wealth-producing states, 
would be of great value, not only to the Trans-Mississippi states, but to all the homeseekers in the world ; therefore, 

"Resolved That the United States Congress be requested to take such steps as may be necessary to hold a Trans-Mississippi 
Exposition at Omaha, in the year 1898, and that the representatives of such states and territories in Congress be requested to favor 
such an appropriation as is usual in such cases, to assist in carrying out the enterprise." 

After passing the resolution and effecting a temporary organization, articles of incorporation were duly 
filed, authorizing a capital stock of $1,000,000. 

The state of Nebraska, through its legislature, appropriated $100,000. 

The county of Douglas, in which Omaha and the Exposition are located, appropriated $100,000; and the 
city of Omaha, through its various boards, has exceeded that amount. 

The National Government not only appropriated $200,000, but by Act of Congress recognized the Trans- 
Mississippi and International Exposition as a National and International Exhibition, with all privileges 
belonging thereto, including the right to import exhibits free of duty; to strike memorial medals through the 
mints; to issue, through the Post-Office Department, a new series of stamps bearing designs in honor of the 



(15; 



occasion; and the President of the United States, through the State Department, has secured recognition of 
the governments of all the civilized nations. 

^ Although the original intention, as set forth in the resolution, was to include only the states west of the 
Mississippi river, the plan has developed to such an extent that it now includes about forty states, which have 
appropriated amounts varying from $5,000 to $100,000 each. Many of these states have established their head- 
quarters in their own buildings, and the Exposition promises to exceed in every direction the original project. 
In view of the expansion of the project and the various departments and branches connected with the 
Exposition, and in order to enable the visitors to receive the full benefit of their time and money expended, 
a program of daily events has been suggested, and the Exposition management have authorized the publication 
of this Official Program, through which the public will be informed as to the special days and daily events 
as fast as they are decided upon by the officials in charge. 

GENERAL VIEW OF THE EXPOSITION. 

Facing the lagoon are arranged in an artistic manner the principal buildings of the Exposition. The 
symmetry in architecture and harmony in coloring, with decorations and statuary, with the latest appliances for 
illumination, present a view more brilliant and charming than has been heretofore obtained in the art of 
Expositions. The lagoon and the main court present to the night visitor a scene of enchantment far surpassing 
the conceptions of Arabian Nights Entertainment, and the varied colorings of buildings and decorations, under 
the multiplied combinations of electric lighting, eclipse the scenes in the fiction of Aladdin and his wonderful 
lamp. The system of illumination adopted has never been attempted at any former Exposition. Counting all 
the lights, including those which project from the buildings, there are nearly ten thousand incandescents, with 
a combined power of two hundred thousand candles. They are arranged in circular form, so that, without 
shadows, they cast a soft golden light, making the court lighter than day. In these great buildings about the 

(16) 



lagoon are placed the exhibits of the boundless natural resources of the United States, and exhibits of foreign 
countries, with the latest improved machines and mechanisms, and the products of the fields, the forests, the 
mines, and the factories. In short, the Exposition is one grand display of progress in the arts, sciences, 
industries, education, and government. 

REPRESENTATION BY STATES. 

The states represented by separate buildings on the grounds are Nebraska, Illinois, Wisconsin, Montana, 
Oregon, Georgia, New York, Minnesota, Kansas, Arkansas, and Colorado, each of which will receive special 
attention in the Official Program upon their respective state days. 

The states which will have exhibits in the buildings of the Exposition are Wyoming, Nevada, California, 
Arizona, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, 
Indiana, Idaho, Tennessee, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Indian Territory. 

PRIVATE EXHIBITS. 

This Exposition is most magnificent in the line of private exhibits, unsurpassed in this respect by even 
the World's Fair. Here the manufacturers and jobbers of the East meet their customers in the " Greater West" 
with elaborate and painstaking displays of the latest and best products in machinery, electricity, commerce, and 
liberal arts. Among these the visitor will be attracted by displays of the Bemis Omaha Bag Co., Leggett 
& Myers, Montgomery, Ward & Co., the Gulf Railway, W. Dewees Wood Co., McCord-Brady Co., and the Bur- 
lington Railroad Co. 

AMUSEMENTS. 

On the Midway are grouped the amusement features of the Exposition, and the visitor finds here not 
only the best attractions of former expositions, but many new ones. Here is exhibited European and Oriental 
life, its customs and costumes, its bewitching music, song, and dance, in strange contrast with the gayety of 

(17) 



up-to-date American life. Among these attractions are the Moorish Village with its quaint exterior views and 
gorgeous interior furnishings, and a luxurious and real harem ; Streets of Cairo, with all the din and bustle of 
an Egyptian mart ; Streets of all Nations; an Irish Village inhabited by real Irish— men, women, and children, 
the sunniest and funniest that ever came over; a miniature train, the smallest in the world ; a baby incubator, 
a wonderful electrical invention; Hagenbeck's Trained- Animal Show; an Egyptian Pyramid; picture-projecting 
machines; a cyclorama of the Merrimac and. the Monitor, the largest in the world; a mining tunnel, with 
accompanying shafts and cross-cuts ; a Wizard's Temple filled with Gypsies skilled in the occult science of 
palmistry; a Palace of Illusions, with mirrors and Maze; the Haunted Swing; a Scenic Canal; a Scenic 
Railway; Shooting the Chutes; Rolling the Roll ; the Cosmopolis, a reproduction of streets of Seville, Pompeii, 
Paris, Naples, and Havana; the latest, biggest and best Wild West Show; a Trip to Klondike, over drifting 
ice and snow; the Blowing Up of the Maine; two immense pavilions where the weary visitors may rest and 
drink the beers which have made Pabst and Schlitz famous ; theatres with the latest and best vaudeville 
attractions. This brief summary of what may be seen on the Midway of the Trans-Mississippi and International 
Exposition .is sufficient for the visitor to make comparison with the amusement features of other expositions.

SONG OF WELCOME. 



Composer, Mrs. H. H. A. Beach. 



Words by Henry M. Blossom, Jr. 



Welcome, thrice welcome, to the people of our land, 

Welcome to the people of the world ; 
Here North and South and East and West, united hand-in-hand, 

Have reared a city and their flag unfurled. 



II. 

Here science weaves her wonders for the mind ; 

Here stands arrayed the golden pride of art ; [find 

And commerce with her winged feet hath searched the world to 

The treasures rare of many a far-off mart. 



III. 

Welcome, thrice welcome, to the people of our land, 
And to the people of the world, all hail ; 

And so forever may this splendor in their memory stand 
Undimmed, although its builded fabric fail. 



(32) 



..K7VYERICM.. 



My country 't is of thee, 
Sweet land of liberty, 

Of thee I sing. 
Land where my fathers died 
Land of the pilgrim's pride ; 
From every mountain side 

Let freedom ring. 



Let music swell the breeze, 
And ring from all the trees 

Sweet freedom's song. 
Let mortal tongues awake ; 
Let all that breathe partake; 
Let rocks their silence break ; 

The sound prolong. 



My native country, thee, 
Land of the noble free, 

Thy name I love. 
I love thy rocks and rills, 
Thy woods and templed hills; 
My heart with rapture thrills 

Like that above. 



Our father's God, to Thee, 
Author of liberty, 

To Thee we sing. 
Long may our land be bright 
With freedom's holy light; 
Protect us by Thy might, 

Great God, our King.
